Cave Flower (Sam Fleischner | 19:31 | Drama)
By Rooftop Films on 07/31/2008
Filed under: Drama, Rooftop Filmmakers, Watch Short Films
Sam Fleischner's story about an unlikely romance sprouting between two people living at polar opposite ends of society. Cable lives in an abandoned building and operates a freight elevator, while Claire with her suit, bluetooth and PDA, appears to be all business. Shot in both HD and Super 8, Cave Flower captures how New York is an amalgamation of people living in distinct and separate social spheres. Fortunately for Cable and Claire, its also a city where chance often conspires to create opportunities for people to connect despite the gaps between their respective worlds.
Cave Flower will be screening as part of our program"Romance Shorts: Looking for Love" on August 30th, on the lawn along the Gowanus Canal at The Yard. Come and find out just how much the Gowanus Canal (featured in Cave Flower!) can inspire romance.

You can even see Rooftop's home base, The Old American Can Factory, in this film. Much of the film was shot in a giant abandoned former gun factory which is across the street from us, and also visible from The Yard, where the film will be screened. It's a mesmerizing location, and fitting for Rooftop's urban exploration side.
